Surround multiple characters

[khaitranhq]

Hi there. I usually write Markdown in Neovim but to write bold strings (i.e **abc**), I have to perform twice these operations: Select text -> S*
Are there any better idea to reduce keystrokes? There are other cases such as abc -> ___abc___.
Thank in advance!

See #147 for discussion on this topic. For the time being, the way that I would personally deal with markdown stuff is:

• Define my own custom surrounds for 2, 3, etc. stars
• Define a custom surround that takes an integer as input from the user
• Dot-repeat, e.g. ysiW*.
